Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Philosophy Pragmatism Critically Considered in Relation, to Present-Day Theology The substance of this essay appeared in the primary number of the Bibliotheca Sacra for 1909. Most publications since regarding the theme have tended to confirm the author's view that the subject was approached critically in its central position. Gratifying as this conviction was, it entailed also the regret not to have treated the subject somewhat more fully. Considerable additions and some changes have therefore been made in the present little treatise so as to bring together a fairly complete survey of pragmatism in its outstanding characteristics. The subsequent works of its gifted and scholarly exponent Prof. James plainly bear witness to the fact that the real point at issue is a denial of the supernatural, a discarding of the notion of being, involving a static element. It is a revolt against all tradition, authority and unity; it sets itself against all regulative norms and law. In this central theme are involved all minor points and side issues of the discussion. The intellectual leader, whose labors are now ended, has stated the pragmatic position with his customary clearness, and has endeavored to answer its many critics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the last ten years, investigators worldwide have focused on the connections between the philosophy of classical figures in American pragmatism (e.g., William James, Charles Peirce, and John Dewey) and the Hispanic world. Pragmatism in the Americas examines the intersection between these two traditions, advancing new and unexplored realms of Western philosophy and uncovering new relationships.The book will prove an invaluable source for philosophers and philosophy students, as well as for scholars from other disciplines (e.g., history, political science, sociology, diversity studies, and gender and race studies) to begin understanding the dynamic relationship in thinking between the two Americas. In addition to documenting the results of a new and thriving area of research, it can also function as a primer to direct and provoke further inquiry.Its essays, from North American, Spanish, and Latin American scholars, fill a void in the humanities and introduce a number of Hispanic pragmatists who have not been included in standard pragmatist texts.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Thought: From Puritanism to Pragmatism and Beyond We, as a country, have been told that we have no philosophy, that we do hut reflect the speculations of other lands. This is not wholly true. We have had philosophers, original thinkers who, though their influence may not have reached abroad, were makers of history at home. So a study of the speculative movements in America leads to a clearer understanding of our national character, for these very movements are so closely allied to our history and our literature that they may be said to form a background for both. The colonial background I have presented in a previous volume - American Philosophy: The Early Schools. This described the most important forms of thought as they crossed from the Old to the New World, developed during two centuries, and slowly prepared the way for the native philosophy of Emerson. The present work condenses the previous account and continues the development of national thought until it emerges triumphantly in pragmatism - a typical American philosophy.

Download or read book Classical American Pragmatism written by Sandra B. Rosenthal and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 1999 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection provides a thorough grounding in the philosophy of American pragmatism by examining the views of four principal thinkers--Charles S. Peirce, William James, John Dewey, and George Herbert Mead--on issues of central and enduring importance to life in human society. Pragmatism emerged as a characteristically American response to an inheritance of British empiricism. Presenting a radical reconception of the nature of experience, pragmatism represents a belief that ideas are not merely to be contemplated but must be put into action, tested and refined through experience. At the same time, the American pragmatists argued for an emphasis on human community that would offset the deep-seated American bias in favor of individualism. Far from being a relic of the past, pragmatism offers a dynamic and substantive approach to questions of human conduct, social values, scientific inquiry, religious belief, and aesthetic experience that lie at the center of contemporary life. This volume is an invaluable introduction to a school of thought that remains vital, instructive, and provocative.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hamner seeks to discover what makes pragmatism uniquely American. She argues that the inextricably American character of pragmatism of such figures as C.S. Peirce and William James lies in its often understated affirmation of America as a uniquely religious country with a God-given mission and populated by God-fearing citizens.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Pragmatists: Selected Writings Fortunately, the literature is easily accessible. We hope that the incompleteness of our sample will encourage many readers to go beyond what they encounter here. Since pragmatism is not a doctrine, not an "ism," but a method or a way of analyzing problems, our selections, exemplifying some of its applications to religion, metaphysics, science, aesthetics, ethics, education, and social philosophy, are offered in the pragmatic mood, as provocations, not definitive statements, as openers of windows and doors in the corridor.

Download or read book Pragmatism and Religion written by Stuart E. Rosenbaum and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2003 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This distinctive collection of classical and contemporary readings comes at a time when pragmatism is undergoing a renaissance across a spectrum of disciplines. Pragmatism and Religion addresses an important but overlooked issue: whether or not the deep passions and commitments of American pragmatism's central figures are independent of Western religious traditions. The first of the book's three sections samples pragmatism's religious roots. "Classical Sources" includes works by John Winthrop, Jonathan Edwards, Henry David Thoreau, and Ralph Waldo Emerson, as well as Charles Sanders Peirce's "Evolutionary Love," William James's "Philosophy" (chapter 18 of The Varieties of Religious Experience), and selections by John Dewey, W. E. B. Du Bois, John McDermott, and Richard Rorty. Part 2, "Contemporary Essays on the American Tradition of Religious Thought," features Richard Bernstein's "Pragmatism's Common Faith," Stuart Rosenbaum's "Morality and Religion," and Robert Westbrook's "Uncommon Faith," among others. Part 3, "Theism, Secularism, and Religion: Seeking a Common Faith" includes Raymond D. Boisvert's "What Is Religion?" Sandra B. Rosenthal's "Spirituality and the Spirit of American Pragmatism," Carl Vaught's "Dewey's Conception of the Religious Dimension of Experience," and Steven C. Rockefeller's "Faith and Ethics in an Interdependent World," among others. Stuart Rosenbaum's contemporary contributors are among the best in the fields of pragmatism and pragmatism in religion. A unique resource, Pragmatism and Religion will serve students of religion, history, and philosophy, as well as those in interdisciplinary core courses.

This book was released on 2019-04-18 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new release of the classic text Pragmatism is absolutely timely. James' seminal statement of pragmatism's underpinnings and its treatment of essential philosophical questions (the nature of truth; the one and the many; free will; etc.) could not come at a more appropriate time. In a “post-truth” era of fake news, alternative facts, and a belief that "truth isn't truth," James' presentation of pragmatism as a method of adjudicating truth-claims is a must-read. Perfect for courses in: Philosophy of Education (Graduate Level), American Philosophy (Graduate and Upper-Level Undergraduate), American Studies, Special topics class on William James or Pragmatism, Sociology of Education (Graduate Level), Religious Studies.
Download or read book Some Religious Implications of Pragmatism Classic Reprint written by Joseph Roy Geiger and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-05 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Some Religious Implications of Pragmatism Two things there are, said Kant, which are worthy of man's rever ence, the starry heavens above and the moral law within. This out burst Of scientific enthusiasm and moral fervor may be fairly said to epitomize the spirit and the motif of modern philosophy. Whenever and wherever our modern life has presented its problems or vouchsafed its satisfactions one or the other, or both, of these interests have been implicated. And philosophic thought has taken its cues accordingly. Not every thinker has been as catholic in his interests as was Kant. T 0 some the starry heavens above have seemed all-important, while to others the moral law within has made the strongest appeal. But few thinkers, no matter how great their bias in one direction, have been insensible to the problems lying in the other direction. And the pro foundest systems Of philosophy have come from those men who, like Kant, have been concerned with both the natural and the spiritual, the real and the ideal, the is and the ought, have felt these to be incom patible and have sought to penetrate to some deeper principle of unity. This more fundamental principle of unity, however, has not been forthcoming. Spinoza's God or Nature, Kant's Thing in Itself, Hegel's Absolute, and Spencer's Unknowable - all are but grim testimonies of the persistence of the problem. It is as urgent today as it was in an earlier and more metaphysical age. To be sure, we have become suspicious of the possibility or the worth of ultimate principles and impatient with any philosophy which attempts to formulate such principles. With the development of scientific methods, our practical problems have so multiplied and our immediate experience has become SO engaging as to leave us little time or inclination for the consideration of problems of a more strictly philosophic character. Furthermore, as knowledge has become more and more specialized, a sort of division of labor has served to isolate the various fields of human interests and activities, and to Obscure the fact Of their connections. But, while this specialization of knowledge has its advantages, it likewise has its dangers. The quality Of the work done by the particular sciences is apt to be impaired by too rigid an isolation of their respective fields. Life itself is not made up of clearly marked Ofi fields of interest and activities. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
